Process

Two back-to-back 30-minute interviews. These were mainly coding, but there were some general knowledge questions too, such as:

  • What is MVC?
  • What is OOP?
  • What is BFS?
  • What is DFS?

Verbal programming questions seemed geared towards C++ and Java. There were no gotchas or obscure topics.

A little bit of discussion regarding past experiences occurred. They may tailor questions towards areas you're more experienced in.

What's the difference between a hashmap and a hashtable?
